Translation to:enitru

Devedesete

Mi smo bar imali stare gitare...Poneki bedž na reverima...Glupo bi zvučalo Je-Je!uz sve ove dileje s revolverima...Al' zastavu šezdesetih vezle su gramofonske igle..I Put od Žute Cigle prostr'o se pred nas..

Mi smo bar imali razne Če Gevare...O-o, i veće prevare...To mladost piri u dahukao šećer u prahu sa bundevare...Protesti sedamdesetih više su bili odraz modeJer bokal pun slobode točen je za nas...

Mi smo bar imali putovanja...Perone, suze, cmakanja...Crveni pasoš bez manešto prolazi grane bez puno njakanja...Dnevnici osamdesetih švrljani su na jarke razgledniceSvet je lice šminkao zbog nas...

Mi smo bar imali one snove koji se teško ostvare...A snovi najčešće vrede tek kad s tobom osede...Kad s tobom ostare...Nije baš sve na kantaru... Čitavo čudo kupi lovaAli snova nema piratiranih...

Onda su došle devedesete,tužne i nesretne... Opake...Gospod je barut primirisaopa 'ladno zbrisao za oblake...E, kad već puknu ustavenema nam spasa dok se reke ne zaustave...No, i taj dan će svanuti...kad-tad

Onda su došle devedesete,tužne i nesretne... Fobične...U udžbenike i u čitanke ušle su bitange...Obične...Kasno je da se paniči...Dali smo šansu da se ludilo ozvaniči...A sad smo prosto zgranuti?

Mi smo bar imali neke vezes planetom i sa ljudima...Znalo se ko togu nosi a ko cvetić u kosi...O, blago ludima...Danas se laž odvažila...A zadnja bagra kroji moral...Pa je OK Koral dignut oko nas...

Ma, jebite se, Devedesete,vas mogu jedino psovati...Za vama niko neće žalitiniti vam stihove kovati...Jednu ste mladost sludele,budite sretne ako vam i strofu udele...Pred crkvom pravih vrednosti...

Ma, jebite se, Devedesete,i vaša priča je gotova...I dabogda se nikad ne setesvih ovih protuva i skotova...Kad zakon metlom zamane...Ili ih pusti da se međusobno tamane...Što ima svojih prednosti.

Devedesete

At least we had those old guitars.. A badge or two on our lapelsYeah-yeah! would sound so dumb with these crazy people with guns..But the flag of sixties has been made by stylusesAnd the yellow brick road has spread before us..

At least we had different Che Guevaras, o-o and some major deceptionsThats the youth blowing (in breath-i have no idea how to translate this), like a sugar powder on a pumpkin pieProtests of seventies were more of a fashion detailBecause a jug full of freedom has been poured for us.

At least we had travels... Train stations, tears, smoochings..A red flawless passport that could cross any border without any grumping..Diaries of eighties were scratched on flashy postcards..The world was wearing make up cuz of us..

At least we had those dreams thats hard to fullfilland the dreams are only worth when they grow grey and old with youyou can't measure everything, money can buy lots of stuffbut the dreams are unique..

and then those ninties came, sad and unlucky.. mean..god smelled the gunpowder and then coldly escaped behind the cloudsWell, after they break constitutions, there is no escape untill the rivers stopbut That day will come.. sooner or later

Then the ninties came, sad and unlucky.. phobicNo-good bastards fill the pages of students's books..its too late to panic, we gave the chance for madness to become publicand now we are, like, astonished?

at least we had some connections with planet and the peopleit has been known who's wearing a toga and who's wearing a flower in his hair, oh lucky insane people..The Lie has become courageous and the scumbags are preaching about moralPa je OK koral dignut oko nas...So OK CORAL has been built around us..

Well, **** you , Ninties, i can only curse youno one will cry for you or write songs about youyou ****ed up the whole generation and you'll be lucky if you only get a refrainin front of the church of real values

well, **** you, Ninties, your story is overand may we never remember all those low-lives and bastardsafter they face the law.. or let them kill each otherwhich has its advantages.
